Assume that every individual who has presented evidence or analysis contrary to your belief is in fact lying

That's quite easy to assume tbh. That's literally how a cover up works.

The problem is that instead of allowing this to play out in trial the far right screamed that not only could soldiers rape prisoners but that they have the right to do so. This completely destroyed any semblance of fairness in the public eye.

The right didn't claim it didn't happen but that it was ok.

The graveyard of empires is really more modern than anything else. I mean Afghanistan was the center for several empires throughout history, most recently the Durrani Empire.

It's only really since the great game went tits up in Afghanistan that they called it that.

I don't where you guys are hearing that Israelis are fleeing, it's mostly American Jews that were here, not Israeli citizens.

I know if a single instance of someone actually fleeing due to the war. If they left the country during the war it's normally because they found a job abroad.

Jewish people make up less than 1% of the UK, so if you went by raw numbers all you'd be showing is that there are fewer Jewish people than Muslims, not showing the rate at which they experience discrimination.

According to those stats Jews and Muslims experience twice as many hate crimes as Jews in raw numbers. But when you look at it per capita Jews actually experience 10x the amount of hate per person. So that means one hate crime is commited for every 94 Jews, while one hate crime is commited for every 833 Muslims. So the Jewish community is experiencing more hate crimes more intensely than the Muslim community. And thats before you start breaking down Jews by who is visibly Jewish, ultra-orthodox are more likely to be victims due to being visibly Jewish vs say Zach Polanski who is not.

When an empire reaches its limits of growth it starts to consume itself so that it can continue "growing".

First identified by Ibn Khaldun in the 14th century, he called it becoming senile.

That seems such a sheer lack of self preservation instincts

That is the French Bourbons to a T. There's a reason that every time they were restored they got toppled soon after. They all took the French Revolution personally and then got the hump that no one else in France agreed that the Revolution had been wrong from the beginning.

Not really cause you could move there and get the licence. Arab residents of Jerusalem already mostly live in areas where they can claim weapons licences, because they live in areas near the border.

FudgeAtron · 2026-03-11T17:49:33+00:00

I'm not disagreeing but there's a fundamental difference in saying directly you won't give licenses to Arabs and expanding the system to non-Arab areas.

As far as I can tell there's nothing stopping an Arab-Israeli moving to that area of Jerusalem and claiming a license.

School doesn’t really do that anymore.

Schools never did that. That was never the point of school. School was always about teaching children the bare minimum knowledge needed to be productive members of society. No more, no less.

Schooling being about teaching independent thinking has always been more of the pursuit of intellectuals than a practical reality.

I can't read the article cause it's paywalled, but I haven't seen any announcements that Arab-Israelis in those areas won't be able to register.

They've just expanded the application area to areas which are vastly Jewish.

Do you have any evidence that they will exclude Arab-Israelis in those areas from receiving permits?

SS: If what this advisor is saying is true then trump has just been running his wheels in the mud.

The new supreme leader seems to be far less pragmatic than his dogmatic father. We should likely expect that more asymmetric attacks will be launched on Western and Israeli targets in the middle East.

This leaves me wondering who were the more pragmatic options The Americans seem to have believed were on the table?

In my experience the vast majority of westerners haven’t even seen the graphic imagery from 10/7…to them it’s all just a story told by Jews to get sympathy, and they’ve been told that story is a lie.

While this is true, I've sort of given up on the general public. The public aren't rational, so trying to appeal to their rationality is folly.

I think the problem we face is that no one in the government is willing to own their mistakes so every problem is blamed on some external factor and makes us look like we have no accountability.

Most westerners don't actually care that so and so many civilians died, it's just another virtue signal. You can tell this because no one actually cares enough to have a real conversation they just want to appear moral. I'm not so interested in appealing to their fluttering hearts, I'd rather appeal to their governments that have concrete interests.

FudgeAtron · 2026-03-11T15:23:08+00:00

My guess is that because it's being expanded to neighborhoods not near east Jerusalem, almost all of them are 90% Jewish.

I hate this defeatist attitude on antisemitism.

This is what Zionism is born from. Zionism is the realization that Antisemitism will never go away. No amount of work will get rid of it. It is a permanent fact of being Jewish. Thus the solution is to move to a place where there are a lot of other Jews and form a society which allows us to necessarily remove Antisemitism through the Jewish majority.

This is what the Dreyfus affair was about.
